As a Texan, I realize the good people from Tennessee, volunteered to come here and fight at the Alamo, Goliad. San Jacinto and everywhere in between. We owe our existence as a State to them. There’s something about fired up people from Tennessee and I thank God for your spirit every day! Patara has that energy in spades, and I’m so proud of her. Blessings on the good people of Tennessee and our beloved country. ❤
East Tennessee was opposed to slavery and opted to stay with the Union in the Civil War, specifically Union, Campbell, and Scott counties. Don't know about the other ones.
Patara, I lost my best friend and husband in the last couple of days. He loved to listen to you. you lost him, but you still have me. He gave me 53 wonderful years and 3 sons. I was so lucky to have him, he was very good to me. I will dearly miss him. Give your a hug for me and keep him close.
My young Amish neighbors lost their 18 month old son to an accident on Friday. One of the sisters called me today and asked if I would let them do the families laundry at my house because it had piled up, plus it’s won’t stop raining. Of course I picked it up and washed all day (not tooting my own horn). When I took it back the young mom tried to pay me and I said NO! Instead I said one day I may need a friend to help me, she said she would be honored to be there on that day. Moral of this story, love and hug those babies. Be kind to those hurting, have a giving heart in whatever manner you can. If you have time, please pray for the Miller family and their other children, but that sweet baby is with Jesus now.
In a previous video, I mentioned that my husband was having a hard time finding work. I want to THANK your viewers for praying for my family and I, my husband is on his 3rd week of work in his new job. THANK YOU ! I believe your prayers helped!
Patara, with all the negativity going around, I will share something that is positive. I have a very dear friend that over the past three years have had brain surgery to remove a tumor. She's had two strokes which she is still recovering from. Last year, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had surgery this past December with all of the chemo and radiation that went with it. Yesterday, she got a phone call from her doctor about her labs that were drawn last week. She is now cancer free! Isn't that a blessing! True positivity. Thank you for letting me share her joy with everyone.
At 72 I fill up my car at 3/4 empty. I run errands in a circle. I budget with my tithe first and cut back on everything. I save to get my hair relaxed every 5 months. I save for my rainy day fund by still working part-time as a greeter in a grocery store. I take surveys online on my days off to earn gift cards to stretch my budget. Every little bit helps.
Just be certain your tithe recipient is worthy. Don’t short yourself to give to a wasteful entity or someone putting guilt on you. God knows you and your heart.
My wife and I are losing weight because we don't have enough money to buy food. I have been laid off for 5 months, we have no idea where we will get the money to pay rent in two weeks. I applied for food stamps, but was denied because we don't have kids. We can't drive the car we are making payments for and insurance because we have zero spare money. It's hard to not get upset, but we count it all joy, because God is using this time to refine us. I am not living in this realm, most of my day is spent in prayer with God and dreaming of the world to come in the afterlife.
Last night at Aldi‘s a lady was telling me I’m glad these cucumbers are $.33 and the tomatoes are $.40 a pound. It’s hard being retired. The stress and worry was all over her face.
I eat dinner with the stovetop light. ( no other lights on in the kitchen) Sometimes I open up one of my five cans and I say here’s my Frugal dinner. 1 humble meal a week doesn’t harm anyone.
Papara 20 years ago I was at a holistic seminar. I met a military lady who was there because she had been poisoned in the tunnels in DC. She was walking with a group and another group walking the other way, one person patted her shoulder and down she went. Mouths in the hospital and then going for a holistic way. After a week we shared a transit to the airport. She told me then that the government was projecting fear over all the major cities . Fearful people are easier to control. From that day forward we have avoided major cities. Buy close to our country home. Costs more but we have been supporting our business close to home. Was a real big boost during the forced stay at the one. Patara you say get your children out of school, I say get your family out of the city ‼️ GOD Be With You and Your Family ❤️ .
"Gvt projecting fear" ... fear is interesting. Fear overtakes greed by miles. And greed is powerful. But not as powerful as fear. Fear melts people's bones as well as their minds.
Love this channel. I’m 65 yrs old. I am scheduled for surgery Monday May 20th for gallbladder and hernia. Love all the subscribers here. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers! Love and Prayers to all. 🙏❤
Bless her! Ibwas in mental health field until the sickness. I had to be home with my child to do virtual. At that point I stepped out of thst and decided to homeschool. I can assure you, she will not be short of work! I am happy I am home now and a hermit 😂
I am one lady from Oklahoma who does not make hateful comments online or in person. I appreciate your comments because they keep me going. I guess people don't understand doing things that are functional-which makes our lives better. Please continue
Patara, we love you. Weed out the mean/crazy commenters and you still have over a half million people who value your content. We need your energy and wisdom to motivate us to do more with what we've been given.
We had a gift card for a meal and still paid well over $100 to eat at Outback Steakhouse. The service, food and meal were excellent, but hubby and I were shocked and both said, well eating out is over! That is 1 week worth of groceries. This was a treat for Mother's Day. If you are in the serving sector, you better pull in your budget tight and set some savings aside.
I have a 20 year old grandson who will graduate with Welding Technology Degree on Friday the 17th. We are so proud! There will always be a need for Welding! And people are really becoming unhinged! Look at Kamala and Brandon😂. The hinges completely broke!
Something strange has happened in the past years since CV. People, strangers and family, are cruel and angry and hurtful. I have shed so many tears the past few years. Every time I say Lord, I don’t understand, he reminds me, yes you do understand. I know this will get worse, God’s Word tells us so, but I am 70 years of age and have never experienced anything like this. I feel like a stranger in this world and I don’t belong here. Sometimes it feels as if my soul has weights on it. I pray that we all remember who holds us in His hands. God bless you Patara and your family. I would like to think that people would come to their senses and realize what their mouths are spewing forth, BEFORE they spew, but I don’t think that will happen until the Lord return.
People are hurting and scared and having their eyes opened. Scared and hurt people lash out. Unfortunately, Patara, because you speak the truth and don't back down, it makes you a target. Keep doing what you do!! We need truth! Pray for those that are being hateful, but don't engage with them. They'll find another target and move on. One day, they'll have to face it all.
Patara, you are great ❤ You do not need to explain yourself to anyone. We love you and your content the way it is. Whomever have a problem with what you have to say, can find another channel that they are aligned with and enjoy, simple as that!!!!! Keep up the good fight and thank you for finding time for all of us🙏
Dear James & Patara, Appalachia's Homestead is my number one favorite channel and my day is not complete without watching your video(s). You are two of the most real genuine wholesome peoples I have gotten to know. Thank you for being there most everyday and for sharing on so many levels.
I lost my dog 3 weeks ago. For 3 weeks i kept on saying i wasn't getting another dog. A friend posted a video of some corgipoo puppies. I mulled over it for a couple of days and went and saw the puppies and ended up with a beautiful girl. When i went i decided which one came to me and loved me was coming home with me. She has only gone 3 times in the house. She didn't bark for 2 days then on the 3rd day she barked at me twice. Scared the crap out of me because i did not expect it. I believe the good old Lord put the feed for me to see for a reason.
Remember: Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes down to the bone! In my community of widows we can tell you that the ugly we get does go straight to the bone. There are hateful people out there that stalk & harrass widows from across the country. Never met us before but fill our comments with ugly. I love your spirit!!
Yes people are angry about everything going on because they/ we can’t control it! You are right on, Patara. Even driving, I have noticed more impatience. Bless you Patara, keep praying.
You seem like the type of person i would enjoy setting down and drinking a cup of coffee and talk about gardening and taking care of farm animals. Just a good ole country person. Grew up with country folks and enjoy just talking about normal things. Hope the best for you and your family.
Love the puppies - and mucking in a barn is not status - it's independence, a lifestyle that you choose and love, and practicality. And it's abundantly clear that you absolutely love your animals and they bring you joy.
Good morning Patera 😊☕️ Oh my, did you make me laugh this morning when you were talking about the comment regarding your new puppies and seeking status. People are losing it and they’re becoming more angry, I see it too. God bless you and your family. Thank you for keeping it real. Isaiah 26:3 🙌📖❤️
The whole ME ME ME has finally come to harvest. I cannot say I see it improving any either. So today I am planting corn. I am working on succession planting corn and potatoes. Gardening is not just feeding my tummy. It is nourishing my soul. Touching the ground just heals the anger, the hurt and a multitude of other issues.
Yes, people are crazy now. I'm going to condense this as much as possible. Our farm is out on a road that barely 2 cars can pass on. The only house close is my brother. He's a cop, and his cruiser was parked there. Monday as I was working in the garden a rough looking man on a bicycle stopped in the road talking vulgar to me. When I told him to move on he replied that he wasn't on private property. You can't expect peace and safety even when you aren't in public. Take all the safety measures. I'm in North East Tennessee.
There's none of us safe from what's coming. 😢 So be prepared best you can. But know many will be coming to take what you have, so prepare for that also. God bless everyone. 🙏 ❤
I'm ful of rage at where my spousal unit and I have ended up. It's something I pray about daily. I cried every night for a year asking God why and his answer was two words. To survive. I don't know that I want to survive and so now I struggle with the anger from the answer. But apparently God wants me to, for what purpose I can't even begin to imagine. But His will be done, not mine or anybody else's. Keep up the good work, Mrs. P! You are a Godsend to the majority of us.
Forget the haters! You are to be admired for all the advice and help you offer to people. You have it together and have done a fantastic job with your family and farm. The people that criticize you are unhappy with their decisions and life. Don’t think anymore of them. Haters are going to hate. Thank you for all you do and being kind to your animals. Love ya!
All of the incoming solar storms and numerous flares are bringing up VERY dark and demonic energies in people!!! I have had several family members doing their upmost to tear me down and hurt me. I realize and understand the energy so I've been able to laugh it off and feel sorrow for them. I feel the darkness too. I choose to isolate and stay peaceful. Refuse to act on it!!! Stay in peace. Stay in love. We will win this battle! ❤
I’m a cancer survivor, a widow with a young child, and grew up a poor as hell army brat. Now through good decisions in my 50s I’m in a better place, not great, but better. I have heard from others you don’t get it, no as a mom at 19 I get it…I just did something about it. I did without, worked 2-3 jobs at a time, gave up so much…it was my choice and so glad I made the ones I did.
I'm a survivor of 2 different cancers (surgery for both, chemo for one). For someone to compare a haircut to losing hair due to chemo is offensive to me too!
We appreciate your wisdom Patara. Beauty is more than skin deep. Truly I don’t see the need to spend on hair and nails when I need to save for groceries. Also, I think you are beautiful inside and out. There are many angry people out there just waiting to spew. Just ignore it. I get it too for no reason.
The closer we get to November the more caustic people get! We live in toxicity, and negativity is boiling over. Hunker down and remain positive even if you have to isolate!
I saw that waiter comment on the prior video. It was out of place and made no sense. Seeing you training while filming a bit shows how well you use your time and it MOTIVATES me to do more. Thanks, Patara, for truly caring about others and for helping so many. You’ve created a wonderful community.
I use to enjoy a hair appointment with a pedicure twice a year. I can't do that now as our priorities have changed. Our finances have changed. My budget prioritizes needs over wants with few exceptions. It's a reality for many of us. I give smiles & hugs, encouragement, but I'll quickly walk away from mean people - who has time for that? We have to prop each other up when we can. Please tell James I know his loss, and I know some people don't think before they run their mouth via keyboard. Mental / emotional instability, manners & common sense are suffering. When I experience these folks, I catch myself joking inside, "well you're not going to be in My bunker" or "no beanie weenies for you". I use humor as a shield because I won't let them see me hurting. I adore you & Patara. Your family, your lifestyle give me hope.
I’m so sorry to hear that people are abusing you. You are hitting a nerve with them. They hate you for speaking the truth. I listen to you, because I need to hear the truth. I need the encouragement you provide. It helps me to curb my luxury spending. I learn from you every day. God bless you and your family!
To show how much influence you have I would like to say that every time I go into the grocery store now all I can think of is "grab 5 cans like Patera said , grab 5 cans like Patera said." Even though I have so many cans in my pantry already I don't really need more ... could take years to get through them all ... but I take 5 more cans anyways and find a place to put them.
Some people are just jerks and not worth the time to engage. Keep doing what you do, love your videos. Thank you and thank God for you, your family and animals❤
It's time for tough talk, unfortunately. My husband and I took our last real vacation on our honeymoon. Since then, we'd take weekends from time to time. No more. Every purchase has future intent. Our social life is with family now---usually a bring-your-own-everything BBQ. We found an old frame bagged up for a 10X10 hot house, erected it, and I sewed a tulle bug cover for it....The goal is to prepare, maintain, organize....There is comfort in preparing. With every task, we feel better in knowing life will be a little easier when times are tough.
Patara , you and your followers have created a very special space here ! There is a genuine love and concern for each other...a place where someone's prayer request is responded to , at once ! You all have nourished a very dear family vibe built on trust...what a blessing ! Thank you , one and all !!! 💓🫂💓🫂💓
I use to get my hair nails and lashes done and it costed me around 7 thousand dollars a year and that’s including tips!! I was shocked on how much I was spending to pamper myself! I bought the materials to do it myself and saved A LOT of money!!! I took that money and paid off debts and stocked up on Food and other things we needed!!
Hey Girl! You're so right, people's cheese is sliding all the way off their crackers! It's one of the reasons I enjoy your channel so much, people are generally so nice, caring, helpful in your comment section! Don't ever stop calling out those people that come at you sideways, they're probably used to getting away with being buttheads and need to be put on notice. Love you Patara & and your little dogs too! ❤🙏🇺🇸✌🏻💪🏻👊🏻
Patara, jealousy and fear, those folks that are so rude are in the ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ crowd. They don’t want to listen and you remind them they have messed up royally just by speaking truth. Honesty is a bitter pill, it takes away that fantasy land they live in. Keep up the good fight 😊
I watched a video last night that had very large dogs not sure what kind . But they do what your sweet dogs do. They stopped a coyote and they ran him off . One loves his little goat babies and check on his babies. It makes me sad all the hater’s. I pray for all of us . Be safe my friends.❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
On my local community page people were asking why a family dollar was closed the 2 employees who were dedicated to their job finally got fed up between corporate and mainly customers cussing them out daily about coupons, stocking etc. totally out of their control. Customer peeing in the floors throwing things in the floor. What has happened to people?! There is no respect anymore, no eye contact. I try to smile at everyone I meet. Such sad times
Cicadas are deafening down here in central Alabama. My friend has them really bad. Not able to have an outside conversation they are so loud and flying all over the place. The chickens are enjoying eating them!😂 Free snacks and all u can eat buffet!😂
I have a son that is way left. Don’t understand how he can think that way. He was in the military for 8 years and swore to uphold the constitution. So sad but I can’t change him.
People have no hope. They don't know where to look. They need to look to JESUS OUR ONLY hope. Praying for all. Thank you Patara for being a voice in the desert. Keep speaking truth. Love you be safe
Sad how ignorant and hateful some people are, they need Jesus. Wow, as I was typing this it went wacky and I HAD TO START OVER. Spiritual battle we are in.
Patara, I, for one, appreciate your realness. I'm so tired of the rat race everyone seems to be on. When I come here, I feel like I'm listening to a friend. I'm thankful for you! Are you serious someone is worried over shorts? Lawd have mercy, folks need to grow up.
There are many NUTS who have nothing else to do but stay on the computer and send negative or aggressive comments. I am so sorry that you must put up with such nonsense Patara. You are a genuine lady who tries her upmost best to share the most accurate news. I love your channel because you are so honest and down to earth. Of course, I must mention that I love your animals. The new little puppies are so adorable. I lived in Tennessee for two years and love the state. Tennesseans are genuine and friendly people and I enjoyed my time living in Johnson City. Thank you Patara. I have heard a well-known TV minister who recently said that "Christians are losing their faith." We need to pray, pray, pray and read God's word everyday.
Oh just ignore those people, they obviously don't have enough work to do.. they need to come to my way, i could keep 5 people busy.. trying to run 5 acres mini farm with an invalid 76 year husband... Keep busy people, there's no time to complain.. stay focused!
I'm a retired hairdresser. I was self employed and saw ups and downs in my 30 years. It can be very stressful. Anyone who is self employed knows what I'm saying. Good luck every body!
So, true. My husband and I have talked about some of our friends who have businesses in the service industry. People aren't going to be able to go to ice cream shops, gyms, nail salons, etc. They're not going to be able to afford it. It's just facts. We know and love these people. It's not about wanting them to fail. We worry about them. Patara, you just speak the truth. People are just angry and lashing out.
As a native Oklahoman I am ashamed that somebody from our state would make such hateful, ignorant comments to you. We're better than that, so she may be a transplant from elsewhere (I won't mention any states). You are much loved & appreciated here on my little farm!
That's really sad. On April 2 and to the 5 th in the hospital for diabetes. 419 blood sugar. Just found out that I have lost sight in my right eye. I steal have sight in my left eye. Going to another eye doctor on the 25 th of this month. All Dr are 1 in a half hrs away. And will half more coming up. Can't drive anymore. That lives my daughter doing the driving. I am telling you about this because I know what is happening in our country. No pity party. Facts are what they are. You tell it like it is keep doing what needs to be done. I am 72 years young. My pantry has took a big hit. And my finances have took a dive. But God is good all the time. God bless everyone. Love ya all.
Boy you are 100% right. I have an upholstery business, during the lock down when oh Joe was handing out all the money I was overwhelmed with work. This year I'm lucky to have a job each month. Thank goodness I'm frugal. Talk about ugly people, my husband can be so ugly and angry because he consumes all this crap all day long. He's on disability so he has way to much time on his hands. A lot of times he starts yelling at me over all this crap, I've had to realize he's not yelling at me, but to me. Venting the only way he knows how to. Yes it is hard to deal with and not getting angry at him but I just pray for him and sometimes for myself to keep my cool. I love what you do Patara (I think that's how to spell your name) and appreciate you. Hugs to all of you out there.
I read or watched some economists say the middle class is being destroyed. They said it takes an extra 1100.00 dollars a month just to stay at the level they were 3 years ago. That’s how bad it is and it’s getting worse.
James im so sorry for the loss of your mother. Please ignore the terrible hater. The loss of a parent is very difficult to get through, I lost my Dad in December. I just cried and I feel your loss. Much love and prayers ❤❤
As a Texan, I realize the good people from Tennessee, volunteered to come here and fight at the Alamo, Goliad. San Jacinto and everywhere in between. We owe our existence as a State to them. There’s something about fired up people from Tennessee and I thank God for your spirit every day! Patara has that energy in spades, and I’m so proud of her. Blessings on the good people of Tennessee and our beloved country. ❤
Thank you! 🧡🌷🧡
Praying for you and your family and your friends also 🙏
Back at you There will always be a special bond between Tennesseans and Texans!
East Tennessee was opposed to slavery and opted to stay with the Union in the Civil War, specifically Union, Campbell, and Scott counties. Don't know about the other ones.
We in Tennessee owe Texans a great debt for dealing with our Southern border everyday!
Patara, I lost my best friend and husband in the last couple of days. He loved to listen to you. you lost him, but you still have me. He gave me 53 wonderful years and 3 sons. I was so lucky to have him, he was very good to me. I will dearly miss him. Give your a hug for me and keep him close.
Dear Sister, I offer you my compassion and lift you in prayer!!
💔 🙏
Prayers
Condolences sweety. I can’t imagine 🙏
🥲🙏🙏🙏🙏
My young Amish neighbors lost their 18 month old son to an accident on Friday. One of the sisters called me today and asked if I would let them do the families laundry at my house because it had piled up, plus it’s won’t stop raining.

Moral of this story, love and hug those babies. Be kind to those hurting, have a giving heart in whatever manner you can.
If you have time, please pray for the Miller family and their other children, but that sweet baby is with Jesus now.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
How sad. They will be in my prayers.
🕊️♥️
My prayers as well🙏 😪
Praying, thank you for sharing this!!!🙏🕊❤
In a previous video, I mentioned that my husband was having a hard time finding work. I want to THANK your viewers for praying for my family and I, my husband is on his 3rd week of work in his new job. THANK YOU ! I believe your prayers helped!
I'm so, so pleased! Yay!! James 5:16 "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
🙏❤️
I found a grocery receipt in a sack from NOV. 2020 so I took it to the store and priced out everything on it . the cost has gone up 66%.
Thanks
Ridiculous😭
Omg but yet I’m not surprised
Patara, with all the negativity going around, I will share something that is positive. I have a very dear friend that over the past three years have had brain surgery to remove a tumor. She's had two strokes which she is still recovering from. Last year, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had surgery this past December with all of the chemo and radiation that went with it.

I save all of my $5 and $1 bills for Christmas money! I never let my car get below 1/2 tank either!❤❤❤
I am inspired by your comment, thank you!
one step, one thing, one day at a time - well done
@@brendahoffer5534 that is smart to do. Christmas will be really tight this year for us.
My wife and I are losing weight because we don't have enough money to buy food. I have been laid off for 5 months, we have no idea where we will get the money to pay rent in two weeks.

People are so unhinged. My husband and I talk about it all the time.
Ditto
its probably gonna get worse 😬
Not just in this country. I live overseas and there too people are on edge and easily triggered.
I think people have thought me unhinged in 2020 and 2021. I’ve calmed bit now but on edge all the time. All the best
People are becoming really unhinged. It’s almost scary how unhinged they are.
You can go out and see the stress on people’s faces.
So true. It's rare to see people actually having a smile on their faces.
Very true. We were just talking about this at our house.
So true, I know I don't smile as much. I do try.
Last night at Aldi‘s a lady was telling me I’m glad these cucumbers are $.33 and the tomatoes are $.40 a pound. It’s hard being retired. The stress and worry was all over her face.
I sense the tension from people as I"m standing in line at the market. None ofus has ever experienced anything like this before.
I made gluten-free bread in the bread machine for less than $2/loaf today. It was delicious and beats store bought for $6-$10/ loaf. I was so proud 👏
I eat dinner with the stovetop light. ( no other lights on in the kitchen) Sometimes I open up one of my five cans and I say here’s my Frugal dinner. 1 humble meal a week doesn’t harm anyone.
Can of beans is my go to
Can of chili for me straight from the can. Love it
I love stove top light. 1 light vs 4 in the ceiling fan.
My husband and I only use light when necessary also. So many people have lights on in the daylight. Never made since to me. Blessings 🙏❤
Papara
20 years ago I was at a holistic seminar. I met a military lady who was there because she had been poisoned in the tunnels in DC. She was walking with a group and another group walking the other way, one person patted her shoulder and down she went. Mouths in the hospital and then going for a holistic way. After a week we shared a transit to the airport. She told me then that the government was projecting fear over all the major cities . Fearful people are easier to control. From that day forward we have avoided major cities. Buy close to our country home. Costs more but we have been supporting our business close to home.

"Gvt projecting fear" ... fear is interesting. Fear overtakes greed by miles. And greed is powerful. But not as powerful as fear.
Fear melts people's bones as well as their minds.
Holy cow!
It's a spiritual attack, Patara.
We continue to pray for those lost soul.
Pray and fast and offer sacrifice 🙏🏻
Amen and True 🙏❤

My grand-daughter is planning on becoming a mental therapist, looks like she is going into the right business.
Bless her! Ibwas in mental health field until the sickness. I had to be home with my child to do virtual. At that point I stepped out of thst and decided to homeschool. I can assure you, she will not be short of work! I am happy I am home now and a hermit 😂
tell her to concentrate on deprogramming cult members. busy busy busy
I am one lady from Oklahoma who does not make hateful comments online or in person. I appreciate your comments because they keep me going. I guess people don't understand doing things that are functional-which makes our lives better. Please continue
Patara, we love you. Weed out the mean/crazy commenters and you still have over a half million people who value your content. We need your energy and wisdom to motivate us to do more with what we've been given.
other side of that coin. thanks for telling 'em.
Amen to that!!
We had a gift card for a meal and still paid well over $100 to eat at Outback Steakhouse. The service, food and meal were excellent, but hubby and I were shocked and both said, well eating out is over! That is 1 week worth of groceries. This was a treat for Mother's Day. If you are in the serving sector, you better pull in your budget tight and set some savings aside.
Was this the bill for only two people?
I understand food has gone up as well as service, but most Middle class just can't sustain this
Prices went up, food portions went down.........

You should have complained to the owner/manager for not having clear prices of every item on the menus
I’m laughing so hard you showed your age when you said Farrah Fawcett! I love it
Yes! Me too.
she's about 47 - I think
I’m still chuckling over Farrah Fawcett, too😂
65 here & that was THE haircut when I was in HS

I have a 20 year old grandson who will graduate with Welding Technology Degree on Friday the 17th. We are so proud! There will always be a need for Welding! And people are really becoming unhinged! Look at Kamala and Brandon😂. The hinges completely broke!
So true lol
Something strange has happened in the past years since CV. People, strangers and family, are cruel and angry and hurtful. I have shed so many tears the past few years. Every time I say Lord, I don’t understand, he reminds me, yes you do understand. I know this will get worse, God’s Word tells us so, but I am 70 years of age and have never experienced anything like this. I feel like a stranger in this world and I don’t belong here. Sometimes it feels as if my soul has weights on it. I pray that we all remember who holds us in His hands. God bless you Patara and your family. I would like to think that people would come to their senses and realize what their mouths are spewing forth, BEFORE they spew, but I don’t think that will happen until the Lord return.
The spiritual warfare is getting HEAVY! Father God bless you and all those gathered here. 💖💖🙏🙏⚔⚔
Amen!

AMEN!!!🙏🕊❤
😂 hilarious. That's my favorite saying to myself. Also, "When the going gets tough the tough get going!"💪🤗😉
People are hurting and scared and having their eyes opened. Scared and hurt people lash out. Unfortunately, Patara, because you speak the truth and don't back down, it makes you a target. Keep doing what you do!! We need truth! Pray for those that are being hateful, but don't engage with them. They'll find another target and move on. One day, they'll have to face it all.
Patara, you are great ❤
You do not need to explain yourself to anyone. We love you and your content the way it is. Whomever have a problem with what you have to say, can find another channel that they are aligned with and enjoy, simple as that!!!!!
Keep up the good fight and thank you for finding time for all of us🙏
Dear James & Patara, Appalachia's Homestead is my number one favorite channel and my day is not complete without watching your video(s). You are two of the most real genuine wholesome peoples I have gotten to know. Thank you for being there most everyday and for sharing on so many levels.
I agree with you!
Ditto...
SAME ❤
Agree 💯%
I lost my dog 3 weeks ago. For 3 weeks i kept on saying i wasn't getting another dog. A friend posted a video of some corgipoo puppies. I mulled over it for a couple of days and went and saw the puppies and ended up with a beautiful girl. When i went i decided which one came to me and loved me was coming home with me. She has only gone 3 times in the house. She didn't bark for 2 days then on the 3rd day she barked at me twice. Scared the crap out of me because i did not expect it. I believe the good old Lord put the feed for me to see for a reason.
Thank you Patara for not having a membership or throwing things to buy at us. It is much appreciated. Love your words.
Peach sister!! I love listening to you. Sometimes people can’t handle the truth. Wishing you well 🙏❤️🙏
Remember: Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes down to the bone! In my community of widows we can tell you that the ugly we get does go straight to the bone. There are hateful people out there that stalk & harrass widows from across the country. Never met us before but fill our comments with ugly.
I love your spirit!!
I've been storing more than ever. Something is pushing me and giving me an urgency I can't shake. Thank you God, I'm on it! 🙏🙏🇺🇸❤️
Keep moving forward
Got my 5 cans today !! 💗💗💗
Here too
Yes people are angry about everything going on because they/ we can’t control it! You are right on, Patara. Even driving, I have noticed more impatience. Bless you Patara, keep praying.
Agree!
Especially in driving.
Agreed!
You seem like the type of person i would enjoy setting down and drinking a cup of coffee and talk about gardening and taking care of farm animals. Just a good ole country person. Grew up with country folks and enjoy just talking about normal things. Hope the best for you and your family.
Love the puppies - and mucking in a barn is not status - it's independence, a lifestyle that you choose and love, and practicality. And it's abundantly clear that you absolutely love your animals and they bring you joy.
Good morning Patera 😊☕️
Oh my, did you make me laugh this morning when you were talking about the comment regarding your new puppies and seeking status. People are losing it and they’re becoming more angry, I see it too.
God bless you and your family. Thank you for keeping it real.
Isaiah 26:3 🙌📖❤️
The whole ME ME ME has finally come to harvest. I cannot say I see it improving any either.
So today I am planting corn. I am working on succession planting corn and potatoes. Gardening is not just feeding my tummy. It is nourishing my soul. Touching the ground just heals the anger, the hurt and a multitude of other issues.
You do you girl that is why we love you.
Too many people in 2024 are drinking the hateraide. This is a challenge for us to ramp up the love and compassion. Our test and testament.
Yes, people are crazy now. I'm going to condense this as much as possible. Our farm is out on a road that barely 2 cars can pass on. The only house close is my brother. He's a cop, and his cruiser was parked there. Monday as I was working in the garden a rough looking man on a bicycle stopped in the road talking vulgar to me. When I told him to move on he replied that he wasn't on private property. You can't expect peace and safety even when you aren't in public. Take all the safety measures. I'm in North East Tennessee.
There's none of us safe from what's coming. 😢 So be prepared best you can. But know many will be coming to take what you have, so prepare for that also. God bless everyone. 🙏 ❤
Patera, you are a beautiful special girl. You do what you want! I can tell you that I saw the video and loved and enjoyed every bit of it! You ROCK!❤
I'm ful of rage at where my spousal unit and I have ended up. It's something I pray about daily. I cried every night for a year asking God why and his answer was two words. To survive. I don't know that I want to survive and so now I struggle with the anger from the answer. But apparently God wants me to, for what purpose I can't even begin to imagine. But His will be done, not mine or anybody else's. Keep up the good work, Mrs. P! You are a Godsend to the majority of us.
Hi Patara and James. I'm so sorry to hear about James' mother. ✝️🙏💜
Love you and your family. ❤
Forget the haters! You are to be admired for all the advice and help you offer to people. You have it together and have done a fantastic job with your family and farm. The people that criticize you are unhappy with their decisions and life. Don’t think anymore of them. Haters are going to hate. Thank you for all you do and being kind to your animals. Love ya!
All of the incoming solar storms and numerous flares are bringing up VERY dark and demonic energies in people!!! I have had several family members doing their upmost to tear me down and hurt me. I realize and understand the energy so I've been able to laugh it off and feel sorrow for them. I feel the darkness too. I choose to isolate and stay peaceful. Refuse to act on it!!! Stay in peace. Stay in love. We will win this battle! ❤
I’m a cancer survivor, a widow with a young child, and grew up a poor as hell army brat. Now through good decisions in my 50s I’m in a better place, not great, but better.
I have heard from others you don’t get it, no as a mom at 19 I get it…I just did something about it. I did without, worked 2-3 jobs at a time, gave up so much…it was my choice and so glad I made the ones I did.
❤
Way to go! 💕💕
I'm a survivor of 2 different cancers (surgery for both, chemo for one). For someone to compare a haircut to losing hair due to chemo is offensive to me too!
I agree, surgery and radiation here…it’s offensive.
Twice now to chemo myself. Praying for all of us fighting any disease. Cancer is not easy very painful.
I am so sorry for the petty things people complain about, something is wrong with these people, IMO. Patara keep doing you! You are awesome!
Thank you for putting up with the nonsense so that we can learn and commune with like-hearted folks🙏💗
100 percent on the tradeschool. I dont need to call a plumber, I dont need an auto mechanic, I don't need a contractor.
Instead of putting the blame on others, we need to take responsibility for our own choices.
Exactly
So true!!!
True...but most won't... however we won't let that get us down or stop us...stay strong & keep the Faith people...
❤️&🙏 to us all.
We appreciate your wisdom Patara. Beauty is more than skin deep. Truly I don’t see the need to spend on hair and nails when I need to save for groceries. Also, I think you are beautiful inside and out. There are many angry people out there just waiting to spew. Just ignore it. I get it too for no reason.
The closer we get to November the more caustic people get! We live in toxicity, and negativity is boiling over. Hunker down and remain positive even if you have to isolate!
Your animals look healthy and happy , I found out I was becoming unhinged, I found out it was caused by a screw being loose. Thanks foe everything.
I saw that waiter comment on the prior video. It was out of place and made no sense.
Seeing you training while filming a bit shows how well you use your time and it MOTIVATES me to do more. Thanks, Patara, for truly caring about others and for helping so many. You’ve created a wonderful community.
I use to enjoy a hair appointment with a pedicure twice a year. I can't do that now as our priorities have changed. Our finances have changed. My budget prioritizes needs over wants with few exceptions. It's a reality for many of us. I give smiles & hugs, encouragement, but I'll quickly walk away from mean people - who has time for that?
We have to prop each other up when we can. Please tell James I know his loss, and I know some people don't think before they run their mouth via keyboard. Mental / emotional instability, manners & common sense are suffering. When I experience these folks, I catch myself joking inside, "well you're not going to be in My bunker" or "no beanie weenies for you". I use humor as a shield because I won't let them see me hurting. I adore you & Patara. Your family, your lifestyle give me hope.
That's awesome! Like on Seinfeld, "No soup for you!"
I like the saying "have the day you deserve." Appropriate for the comments you are referring to.
We say "they are voted off the island" lol
I’m so sorry to hear that people are abusing you. You are hitting a nerve with them. They hate you for speaking the truth. I listen to you, because I need to hear the truth. I need the encouragement you provide. It helps me to curb my luxury spending. I learn from you every day. God bless you and your family!
Some people are just stupid. Others are hateful. I'm just thankful for the good folks in the world.
To show how much influence you have I would like to say that every time I go into the grocery store now all I can think of is "grab 5 cans like Patera said , grab 5 cans like Patera said." Even though I have so many cans in my pantry already I don't really need more ... could take years to get through them all ... but I take 5 more cans anyways and find a place to put them.
Very smart move to protect your livestock with good dogs
They are mad because they didn’t listen and now they don’t have a backup plan
Some people are just jerks and not worth the time to engage.
Keep doing what you do, love your videos. Thank you and thank God for you, your family and animals❤
It's time for tough talk, unfortunately. My husband and I took our last real vacation on our honeymoon. Since then, we'd take weekends from time to time. No more. Every purchase has future intent. Our social life is with family now---usually a bring-your-own-everything BBQ. We found an old frame bagged up for a 10X10 hot house, erected it, and I sewed a tulle bug cover for it....The goal is to prepare, maintain, organize....There is comfort in preparing. With every task, we feel better in knowing life will be a little easier when times are tough.
Patara , you and your followers have created a very special space here ! There is a genuine love and concern for each other...a place where someone's prayer request is responded to , at once ! You all have nourished a very dear family vibe built on trust...what a blessing !
Thank you , one and all !!!
💓🫂💓🫂💓
I use to get my hair nails and lashes done and it costed me around 7 thousand dollars a year and that’s including tips!! I was shocked on how much I was spending to pamper myself! I bought the materials to do it myself and saved A LOT of money!!! I took that money and paid off debts and stocked up on Food and other things we needed!!
Hey Girl! You're so right, people's cheese is sliding all the way off their crackers! It's one of the reasons I enjoy your channel so much, people are generally so nice, caring, helpful in your comment section! Don't ever stop calling out those people that come at you sideways, they're probably used to getting away with being buttheads and need to be put on notice. Love you Patara & and your little dogs too! ❤🙏🇺🇸✌🏻💪🏻👊🏻
🤣 cheese n crackers! Can I use that?
So funny 😄
@@EssentialTam33 If it makes you laugh, use it every chance you get! 😃
Patara, jealousy and fear, those folks that are so rude are in the ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ crowd. They don’t want to listen and you remind them they have messed up royally just by speaking truth. Honesty is a bitter pill, it takes away that fantasy land they live in. Keep up the good fight 😊
If you don’t like the message leave the channel. You keep going girl. Appreciate you.
Exactl
I watched a video last night that had very large dogs not sure what kind . But they do what your sweet dogs do. They stopped a coyote and they ran him off . One loves his little goat babies and check on his babies. It makes me sad all the hater’s. I pray for all of us . Be safe my friends.❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
On my local community page people were asking why a family dollar was closed the 2 employees who were dedicated to their job finally got fed up between corporate and mainly customers cussing them out daily about coupons, stocking etc. totally out of their control. Customer peeing in the floors throwing things in the floor. What has happened to people?! There is no respect anymore, no eye contact. I try to smile at everyone I meet. Such sad times
Cicadas are deafening down here in central Alabama. My friend has them really bad. Not able to have an outside conversation they are so loud and flying all over the place. The chickens are enjoying eating them!😂 Free snacks and all u can eat buffet!😂
We have some in SD, haven’t heard them since I turned the chickens loose😂❤❤❤
Cats love them. You can hear the crunching
People are still in denial even after the BS. My sister is one, and gets mad, like I did it to her.
Exactly
I have a son that is way left. Don’t understand how he can think that way. He was in the military for 8 years and swore to uphold the constitution. So sad but I can’t change him.
@@cindyblevins6901Jesus can!🙏🏻♥️✝️
It's like people are losing their minds. It's unbelievable...
He doesn't believe in upholding the Constitution? @cindyblevins6901
People have no hope. They don't know where to look. They need to look to JESUS OUR ONLY hope. Praying for all. Thank you Patara for being a voice in the desert. Keep speaking truth. Love you be safe
Amen !! 💜💜💜
We are near the end of this Age. Pray.
I totally agree that severe desperation is coming. Prayers all are prepped in every way. 🙏
Sad how ignorant and hateful some people are, they need Jesus. Wow, as I was typing this it went wacky and I HAD TO START OVER. Spiritual battle we are in.
People are SO Stressed out they seem to take it out on people like us Patara so all we can do is Hang Tough and keep Praying for this Whole World...
BOLDNESS TRANSPARENCY HONESTY TRUTH SENSE OF HUMOR….just a few words that describe Patara. That’s why I love you lady ❗️❗️❗️
I don't go anywhere. I eat one small something daily. Not complaining just life.
Great video and I really appreciate you❤❤❤
Prayers for everyone tonight because times are getting worse folks. You haven’t seen the things coming to America.
Truth
I'm scared you're right
Patara, I, for one, appreciate your realness. I'm so tired of the rat race everyone seems to be on. When I come here, I feel like I'm listening to a friend. I'm thankful for you!
Are you serious someone is worried over shorts? Lawd have mercy, folks need to grow up.
There are many NUTS who have nothing else to do but stay on the computer and send negative or aggressive comments. I am so sorry that you must put up with such nonsense Patara. You are a genuine lady who tries her upmost best to share the most accurate news. I love your channel because you are so honest and down to earth. Of course, I must mention that I love your animals. The new little puppies are so adorable. I lived in Tennessee for two years and love the state. Tennesseans are genuine and friendly people and I enjoyed my time living in Johnson City. Thank you Patara. I have heard a well-known TV minister who recently said that "Christians are losing their faith." We need to pray, pray, pray and read God's word everyday.
“Chew on someone else’s shorts” …. So funny amidst all the chaos!
Yay Petraa is on her second video, yeah......😊
I’m the mom in this group. I appreciate you so much.
ALERT:
The people that don't have a plan actually plan to take your plan .
Let ‘em try!
I totally agree that severe desperation is coming. Prayers all ate prepped in every way.
Oh just ignore those people, they obviously don't have enough work to do.. they need to come to my way, i could keep 5 people busy.. trying to run 5 acres mini farm with an invalid 76 year husband...
Keep busy people, there's no time to complain.. stay focused!
I'm a retired hairdresser. I was self employed and saw ups and downs in my 30 years. It can be very stressful. Anyone who is self employed knows what I'm saying. Good luck every body!
So, true. My husband and I have talked about some of our friends who have businesses in the service industry. People aren't going to be able to go to ice cream shops, gyms, nail salons, etc. They're not going to be able to afford it. It's just facts. We know and love these people. It's not about wanting them to fail. We worry about them. Patara, you just speak the truth. People are just angry and lashing out.
As a native Oklahoman I am ashamed that somebody from our state would make such hateful, ignorant comments to you. We're better than that, so she may be a transplant from elsewhere (I won't mention any states). You are much loved & appreciated here on my little farm!
That's really sad. On April 2 and to the 5 th in the hospital for diabetes. 419 blood sugar. Just found out that I have lost sight in my right eye. I steal have sight in my left eye. Going to another eye doctor on the 25 th of this month. All Dr are 1 in a half hrs away. And will half more coming up. Can't drive anymore. That lives my daughter doing the driving. I am telling you about this because I know what is happening in our country. No pity party. Facts are what they are. You tell it like it is keep doing what needs to be done. I am 72 years young. My pantry has took a big hit. And my finances have took a dive. But God is good all the time. God bless everyone. Love ya all.
Praying for you!!!🙏🕊❤
🙏
Dr Bryan Ardis had an episode about wearing a nicotine patch and people were getting there eye sight back . Just thought I’d mention
Boy you are 100% right. I have an upholstery business, during the lock down when oh Joe was handing out all the money I was overwhelmed with work. This year I'm lucky to have a job each month. Thank goodness I'm frugal.
Talk about ugly people, my husband can be so ugly and angry because he consumes all this crap all day long. He's on disability so he has way to much time on his hands. A lot of times he starts yelling at me over all this crap, I've had to realize he's not yelling at me, but to me. Venting the only way he knows how to. Yes it is hard to deal with and not getting angry at him but I just pray for him and sometimes for myself to keep my cool.
I love what you do Patara (I think that's how to spell your name) and appreciate you. Hugs to all of you out there.
I read or watched some economists say the middle class is being destroyed. They said it takes an extra 1100.00 dollars a month just to stay at the level they were 3 years ago. That’s how bad it is and it’s getting worse.
There is a lot of meanness on the planet now. Prayers for everyone 🙏
You go girl... keep speaking the truth in love as you do. How people receive it is on them💕🙏
Thank you!
James im so sorry for the loss of your mother. Please ignore the terrible hater. The loss of a parent is very difficult to get through, I lost my Dad in December. I just cried and I feel your loss. Much love and prayers ❤❤
